Discover Vintage Crochet Afghan Patterns

The year was 1918 and the United States was in the middle of
World War I. Women busily worked up socks, sweaters, balaclavas, blankets, and
gloves to send to the troops overseas. But they also managed to find some time
to create "comforts" for their own home. And as the war ended, these
women, who had discovered a passion for needlework, began looking for a larger
variety of patterns. Afghans, than as now, were very popular.

Nixie Baby Afghan

designs, and techniques popular almost a hundred years ago will still look

Bean Stitch

Cross-stitch embroidery on Tunisian simple stitch
backgrounds fascinates me, so I adore the Nixie Baby Afghan. You could
cross-stitch a delicate flower, like the sample crocheter did, or work a design
of your choice. And I really want to play with the bean stitch used to create the
body of the Dotty Dimple crochet blanket.
